i've never used a CC for a cash advance, but I remember reading about cash advances and it's exactly as you stated. The best solution to avoid this is to have your DD email/call you that she's running short and you deposit funds in her account. Our son had a cash flow problem while going to school (loan funds deposited after bill was due), so we made a deposit into his account and he paid us back when he received the funds.
